One Decade Gone...Still Moving on

By Andrew M. Niwagaba | Project Leader

Greetings to all our donors, friends and well wishers. I hope you are all keeping safe during this COVID 19 pandemic. We are keeping safe too despite our everyday challenges.

One decade ago, this project was started. It has been a long and joyous journey. A lot has been done, achieved but more remains to be done. The project started with two little girls...Josphine and Lispar. They are now adults and are in the world we are proud of them, particularly Josephine who is still strongly attached to the project and the only University graduate we have so far. Fast forward, the number of children rose to Ten and at the height of our operations, we had 20 children at the same time until we agreed to focus on 15 children.

Looking after children is not an easy task but it is the passion that drives me to ensure that we fight on basing on my own challenging childhood. Children are innocent souls but usually victims of circumstances. They ned love, care, food, clothing, education to mention but afew. These needs have been and are still being met with your help and support. Until recently, life was bearable and we somehow managed. The COVID 19 pandemic however created a new set of challenges. We need more food, are uncertain about the future especially in regard to school fees and other utilities. Our candidate students have had interuptions caused by the government policies as a response to the pandemic. Schools in Uganda are partially closed and for the canidate classes that have resumed, the school administration are reluctant to offer school fees grace periods like before and this has put the children out of school. The food suppliers are reluctant to provide food supplies on credit while the utility companies that provide water and electrictity have disconnected their services for none payment.

Our children still need your support. As a project policy, it is imprtant for us to support the children up to senior four and guide them into a technical course that will help them kick start their adult life. We have succeded with this in the past but are now stark. The two senior four and four primary seven candidates are home because of school fees...so are the two teacher taining and plumbing students in their final year of college. The journey has been long, there is alot to be done but this can only be done with your help and support. I beg that you continue to support this noble project. It means the world to me.
